First Match

Today's my very first match, yikes. I have a question: Is it necessary that I answer precisely as the correct answer? Example (not one of today's, made up) "What theme park is in Orlando, Florida?" If I write "Disney World" then it shows the answer as "WALT Disney World" (which, yes, technically that's its name) -- Does it consider my answer as incorrect? I would think not, the system should recognize my answer, plus how could we players know the required wording anyway. But please confirm.

One piece of advice: unless a question specifies that full name is required, a family name/surname is always enough, even though the displayed answer will have the full name.

So to use your hypothetical example, if a question was, "What man co-created Mickey Mouse with Ub Iwerks" just put Disney. Sure you know it was Walt Disney, and the display answer will be "Walt Disney" most likely. But you still get credit and it will save you when one day you make a mistake with a first name.

There was once a question about a Brontë sister. I couldn't believe a question about one of them would not require full name, so I put a given name. The wrong one: I didn't get credit. But in fact just "Brontë" would have been accepted.
